It’s no secret that dating can be stressful.

Instead, many people are actually turning to a more intimate and wholesome first date idea: ice cream!

Environment is everything

The early stages of dating usually involve exchanging pleasantries and more surface-level questions.

It’s sweet and simple, like catching up with an old friend.

Of course, if the connection is promising, there’s no rush to leave.

It simply gives you options, and on a first date, options are your best friend.

The very nature of getting ice cream with someone allows for a casual way of spending quality time together.
